Studies on β-diversity for high plant community turnover in flood plain restoration

Analysis for the relationship of environmental factors and vegetation structure at natural streamside valley and riparian forest in South Korea

“…Salix plants take dominance in the transition process of riparian vegetation as they have high adaptability to stream environment if there aren't any particular disturbances (Kim et al 2014). The dominant species of riparian forest were P. japonica, Impatiens textori, A. princeps, and Carex dimorpholepis which appear close to the water as shown in the research result of Kim et al (2008) and Han et al (2013). A. ginnala community has a characteristic of growing on mountain slopes (Kim 2008) that are less than 1,500 m above sea level, in the stream basin, and wetlands (Oh et al 2004).…”

“…munity. The dominant species of valley forest were P. densiflora, Q.acutissima, Q. aliena and Lindera obtusiloba which were found mostly in places further away from water (Kim et al 2008, Han et al 2013. They were drytype natural deciduous forest that are usually found in the upper hillside and mountain ridges of relatively high altitude (Jin et al 2002).…”

“…Lee et al (2001) stated that environmental factors that affect the distribution of Salix are soil texture of sediments, water content, total nitrogen content, altitude, and average annual temperature. Han et al (2013) stated that there is a significance in the fact that heterogeneity of the streamside plant community has varying moisture gradient of soil and flooding area according to the gradient. In addition, Kim et al (2011) published in his work that Q. serrata takes the dominance on the site with the waterway width of less than 20 m and stated that Salix takes the dominance on the site with waterway width of 20-100 m and exceeding 100 m. In comparison to precedent studies mentioned above, the effect of gradient and stream width on the distribution of plant community was in congruence but altitude above sea level was not in agreement as it did not have an effect.…”

“…Five quadrats were installed at each site and 65 quadrats were researched in total. The detailed information about its naturalness and artificial disturbance intensity on the research site can be referred to Han et al (2013).…”

Study on Flooding Tolerance of Salix Species for Ecological Restoration of the River

“…또한 하천생 태계는 댐, 보 건설 등으로 인한 수리·수문학적 변화 로 인해 하천식생이 가지고 있던 생태적 기능들이 사 라지고 있다 (Han et al, 2013;Heo, 2010;Kim et al, 2012). 최근 하천의 수질개선 및 생태적 복원에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며 하천식생과 생물 서식 등의 어져야 한다 (Shin et al, 2012).…”
